Public opinion is split across the middle on the question of the Metro system that will cover several kilometers of metropolitan Santo Domingo, going from north to south, from Villa Mella to the Caribbean Sea. According to the Gallup-Hoy Survey (GHS), 45.1% are in favor of the project and 44% are against it. 10% said that they didn’t know. Within the metropolitan area, 46.4% are in favor of the government building the Metro and 47% are against the system. Only 5% said that they had no opinion. The GHS was taken during the middle of November and interviewed 1,200 people. One of the most evident differences of opinion was found among the opinions of people with different incomes. Higher income groups were markedly negative about the Metro (57%), while middle-income groups were more in favor (53%) of the project. Among lower income sectors 44.7% OK-ed the project and 43.7% rejected it.
